I'm sure we'd all be interested in knowing what section of (whatever they call) their Handbook lays out the official GSA method of threatening critics.
flak = on target
What did they expect?
Unfortunately, even if one were to overlook GSA’s affiliations you cannot ignore the fact that GS cookies are cheap, factory cookies full of mysto-chemical ingredients.

Good economic lesson for parents of Girl Scouts. The cookies cost more for less. The Girl Scouts profits go where? Maybe they need to take EBT cards.
The Girl Scouts “100th Anniversary” Convention in Houston this past weekend sparked a firestorm of protests from conservatives and pro-life advocates over the Girl Scouts’ speakers: an A-list of entertainers, journalists, and philanthropists that included many champions of pro-abortion and LGBT causes.
Particularly troublesome is the Girl Scouts’ relationship with WAGGGS, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, an international agitator for abortion, contraceptives, sexual diversity and “comprehensive” sexuality education. WAGGGS delegates, for example, helped draft the controversial 2010 World Youth Conference NGO document demanding global support for “abortion” and “LGBTTIQ issues.” (See the excellent links at 100questionsforthegirlscouts.org, girlscoutswhynot.com and honestgirlscouts.com.)
Christy Volanski, a former Scout leader, and her daughters Tess and Sydney are prime examples. They left the Scouts in 2010 when they saw evidence—materials, resources, and partnerships—that their Girl Scout dues promoted an agenda of abortion, contraception, explicit sex education, and homosexuality. Their website, speaknowgirlscouts.com, tells their story and offers details, screen shots, and web links that lay the facts bare. “We felt so hurt and betrayed when we found out about this agenda…There is no reason for other families to…be deceived,” says Christy.

In May 2013, WAGGGS participated in Women Deliver, a global conference with the purpose of “call[ing] for action to improve the health and well-being of girls and women.”
The conference featured speakers such as late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart, philosopher Peter Singer, who supports infanticide and euthanasia, and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Some of the breakout sessions were entitled “Outing and Addressing Abortion Stigma” and “Why I Perform Abortions.” Exhibitors included many abortion and population control advocates such as Amnesty International, Guttmacher Institute, International Planned Parenthood Federation, Marie Stopes International, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, United Nations Population Fund, and WAGGGS.
Equally concerning is WAGGGS’ participation, along with International Planned Parenthood Federation and Planned Parenthood Global (PPFA global), in the Youth Advisory Group for the Women Deliver Conference. It seems to me that the Girl Scouts have some interesting, you might even say radical friends.
Sexual and reproductive rights advocacy is nothing new for WAGGGS. In June 2012, WAGGGS Board Chair Nadine El Achy boasted that WAGGGS “represented each one of our WAGGGS members – YOU” as they pushed for sexual and reproductive rights at the Rio+20 conference. In December 2012, WAGGGS and International Planned Parenthood Federation worked together to create the Bali Youth Declaration, a document which called for abortion rights for youth, comprehensive sex education and the “decriminalization of sex work.” WAGGGS appears to be advocating for the legalization of prostitution. I, for one, fail to see how this relates to scouting.
Local groups should stop their whining and go to a local bakery for cookies to sell. They could keep more money that way, support local business and get the ingredients such as HFCS that send the wrong message out of the cookies.
Too late, take your cookies and stuff them.
Walked past some of these mercenary moppets with a smile and not even eye contact for their ignorant or feminist (and ignorant) mothers yesterday at their gauntlet stakeout at lowes
Haven’t bought from them in ten years since this was exposed.
All this CEO has to do is stop funding baby murder
Most are under a delusion that no proceeds go to the central command. They are wrong
Google search is also there for those in denial. This CEO doesn’t claim she doesn’t get all proceeds. She would if it were so. And she’s tempted to.
I hear that soon the Boy Scouts will be selling their own brand of Boy Scout cookies....
If the Girl Scouts publicly rescind their praise of Wendy Davis AND replace it with public applause for Sarah Palin, I will purchase cookies again.
I almost wanted her to persist with her sales technique so I could explain why, but am glad she didn't.
GSA is another once trusted institution that has been corrupted by the marxists away from their once admirable mission.
I bought my first Girl Scout Cookies in 1964. I’ve bought them every year since. My three girls sold about 400 boxes each in the early 1970’s. I passed a table of Girl Scouts at the market yesterday. So was everybody else. I will not be buying them again until they dump that hag Wendy Davis and her pro-abortion friends!
Isn’t it amazing that everything the progressives touch dies? The Episcopal Church, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and a free Republic. We have to start treating our next-door neighbor who votes for these people as enemies of the state, not just well-untended neighbors.
She has to protect her salary.
I won’t be helping. She should take her troop to any number of Hsnell clinics to have “clean the abortion clinic” days.
Rule #1-
Deny, deny, Deny, deny, Deny, deny, Deny, deny, .....
Rule #2-
See rule #1
She's lying of course. The reason we pulled our girls out of GSA is that they explicitly told us of their intentions to broach exactly such reproductive topics.
We reject what you are doing to our daughters, Ms. Chavez (whether you deny it or not) and we are voting with our wallets accordingly. Deal with it.
